A group of female students at Virginia's University of Mary Washington is lodging a Title IX complaint against the school over the anonymous messaging app Yik Yak, reports CNN. The members of the campus group Feminists United say they've received so many abusive threats online that they feel unsafe on their own campus, and they accuse the school of doing too little to protect them. Last month, one of their members was killed, allegedly by a male roommate, though authorities have made no links between the Yik Yak threats and the death of Grace Rebecca Mann. Yik Yak is popular on college campuses because it allows users within a relatively small area to post and receive anonymous messages on their phones.

Members of the feminists' group say they've endured cyber-stalking and repeated threats of rape and murder, in particular after two incidents: They spoke out against allowing frats on campus because of concerns over sexual abuse, and they got the rugby team suspended over an abusive chant. (Mann's accused killer is a former rugby player.) Afterward, the Yik Yak threats came pouring in. “It created an increasing level of fear and anxiety,” says attorney Lisa Banks. “They had no way to know if people who were posting messages were sitting next to them in class or walking next to them on campus.” The school says it has investigated all threats of violence, and Yik Yak says it is working to curb hate speech on its service, reports the Washington Post

Women have this paranoid obsession about feeling "safe". And "feeling" to boot. Every man is supposed to bow and scrape to EVERY FREAKING WOMAN ON PMS about the dumb ass woman's FEELINGS. Do woman have any idea what its like to be a man, to be surrounded by dozens of women all FEELING something freaking DIFFERENT and I am supposed to bow and scrape to EVERY FREAKING ONE of their irrational fears and whims?? They are all nothing but a bunch of spoiled, childish brats intent on causing hell for every man they see. Its no wonder men treat women worse than shit now. Feminists have brought this on themselves.

Sorta surprised that there are any feminists today. Girls all seem to think they're sorta equal today which they are not. Sexism like racism is just a thing born and you can't change that without a few bucks and a therapeutic moment. I'm old enough to know that I'm a woman and therefore will never be treated the way that a man treats another man. Women going out of their way to demand something that they can't have because of simple biology? Yeah, sorta stupid like holding an event to draw cartoons of Mohammed. Yeah, life is rather simple--you are born, you are whatever you are, you accept that hand of cards and play that hand as well as you can. You don't waste your time trying to get others to accept what they will only willing accept of themselves. Actually, women today who have so much birth control at their finger tips that never existed back when women were fighting for the only equality that matters--the ability to own their own body as much as a man does? Well, they could care less about that even though one out of three pregnancies still ends in abortion. Women fought long and hard for other women to have choices and just cause you can go buy a pill after a dumb evening does not negate the woman who could not do that twenty years ago. It's not about the abortion. It's never been about the abortion. It's always been about being as equal to have a choice in that like a man does when he too engages in intercourse. Yeah--stupid is equal in gender or race. How very odd that stupidy is the only thing which crosses any line? And stupid shouldn't even be a problem except for one thing--stupid does not take responsibly for a thing. That's actually the definition of stupid--thinking that that the responsibility of you being you? Isn't just you being you.
